bottom right hand corner is recommended best practice for
advertising. It should always be on a horizontal axis

alcohol promotion
• Clear legibility should be ensured by following the colour usage
guidance on page 15.
• The exclusion zone and size should be maintained (refer to
following page)
Recommended logo position
Be Drinkaware Logo Exclusion zone
The logo fits into a rectangular box and is surrounded by an
exclusion zone.
It ensures the logo is not crowded by other logos, text or imagery,
as well as preventing it from being placed too close to the edge of
printed materials, websites or merchandise .
Sizing varies dependent on the advertising format, eg. print,
display, etc. See page 10 – 12.
The Be Drinkaware logo should not be used if the licence holder’s
brand logo is not present on the advertising. The Be Drinkaware
logo should never exceed the size of the licence holder brand
logo.

Usage Best practice
Many applications use photographs and background colours. In some
instances this can create problems when placing the logo on
top.
The aim is to achieve sufficient legibility.
See opposite for examples of best practice for the Be Drinkaware
logo, but the same rules must apply when using the brand logo
and/or URL logo only.
Neutral backgroundColour background
The Reversed or Mono reversed logo can be used for darker coloured
backgrounds. For lighter coloured backgrounds, the Navy logo may be
used.
In all instances, there must be sufficient contrast between
background and logo to ensure legibility.
Photographic background
The Mono reversed logo should be used on photographic
backgrounds.
Always ensure there is sufficient contrast between the image and
logo and avoid obscuring the photos subject.
Where possible, the primary colour logo should be used on white
backgrounds, while the Reversed or Mono reversed logo can be used
on dark neutral backgrounds.
In all instances, there must be sufficient contrast between
background and logo to ensure legibility.
Drinkaware 16
Keep applications simple and legible.
